On one of my other family lines they are doing a DNA for the THARP. Here is their email
maybe this person working their DNA up can help the Calverts get some idea on cost.
Hi everyone.
I have two volunteer from two different Tharp/Thorpe lines (Zebulon Tharp of VA and Thomas
Tharp of Maryland).
I desperately need someone to volunteer from the Thomas Thorpe line of Woodbridge, NJ.
THIS IS A FREE TEST - YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING TO PARTICIPATE.
I am looking for a male volunteer in an unbroken line from Thomas Thorpe - ie - not a
descendant from the female Thorpe/Tharp. This is a Y-chromosome test, so we can only test
male volunteers. If you are a female descendant or descend through a female line, you may
have brothers, cousins or uncles who would be willing to volunteer.
Results of this test are used for genealogical purposes only! Our NJ line will be
compared to the other lines tested for relatedness, possibly all the way back to the
1500's in England.
I am also looking for volunteers from other Tharp/Thorpe lines who would like to test
themselves for relatedness to other Tharp/Thorpe lines. The cost of a 14-generation test
is only $99. I will chip in $25 for the next line to volunteer, bringing the cost down to
$74, plus shipping. This is about the cost of ordering a mere 15 records or so through
LDS.
Please contact me at ellenlevy66(a)yahoo.com if you are interested in participating, or
would like to get additional information.
Thanks!
Ellen

Darrell,
I would be willing to participate for the Jacob side of the
family. However, would you mind heading up the project and finding how
much it would cost?

I am willing to danate $20 toward the DNA test of a Calvert from the
John Calvert Esther Jones family.
And another toward a DNA test for the JacobCalvert that founded
Jacobsburg Ohio.
Any one else Game?
I am an Elliott so I can't do it.
